Thanks,

I believe Tomas is using 6.4, which doesn't work (for him) because it always tries to get a password from the keyring. 6.5 includes a patch to never get a password from the keyring (which I'm assuming would work for Tomas - but breaks the private key password scenario). This *should* now be the best of both worlds  ;)
